Atletico lost 0-1 in the 20th round of the 2024-2025 La Liga against Leganes at Estadio Munisipal de Butarque in Leganes, Spain on the 19th (Korea time).
Atletico's defeat ended the club's all-time winning streak with 15 consecutive wins. Atletico only won for more than two months, starting with the Copa del Rey win against UE Beek on November 1 last year. On the way, Barcelona, a competitor in the league, met two times and also faced Sevilla, the prestigious La Liga team, but Atletico's winning streak was not broken. However, Leganes, ranked 15th in La Liga, made an unusual move to block Atletico's winning streak.
From the beginning of the first half, Atletico's attack did not go away easily. Pablo Barrios' strong shot in the 21st minute of the first half was blocked by the opponent's defense. Gallagher's header also hit the post in the 29th minute of the first half in a corner kick situation. The first half ended 0-0.

Atletico fought hard for the equalizer. In the 9th minute of the second half, Griezmann's free kick in front of the box flew a little over the net. Linu's right-footed mid-range shot in the 22nd minute of the second half also flowed to the side of the net.
Leganes also worked hard to widen the gap. In the 28th minute of the second half, Miguel Dera Puente's shot went out of the goal line, not the goal.
Atletico even lost a golden opportunity. In the 45th minute of the second half, VAR readings pointed out a handball foul and Atletico got a penalty. However, Griezmann's shot as a kicker went out of the net as it was, not inside the goal.
In the end, the score was not scored until extra time, and the game ended with a 1-0 victory for Leganes. Atletico have finished their longest winning streak in the club's history.
